Country Cool Apron

Ok, I know everyone's been saying it, but I really can't believe Christmas is only ONE WEEK AWAY! *gulp*

I am still working on holiday gifts and I've decided that next year I will just have to start holiday crafting in June or July, so I won't feel like I'm running out of time.

However, I do have a finished non-holiday project to share with you! I hand embroidered a half apron from Sublime Stitching and used the Country Cool embroidery patterns.




I thought she needed some sparkle, so I used the Poppin Pink floss from the Metallic Pallette. I know working with metallic floss can sometimes be a pain in the tookus, but this floss was pretty easy to work with! If you're wanting to use metallics in an upcoming project, I highly recommend using this stuff.

Have you checked out the Sublime Stitching blog lately? If not, head over there straight away, as they have some really great freebie downloads. First are the ultra cute holiday gift tags & second is a stitchable gift tag tutorial!

Laughing all the way,
Amy
